14 1/2"
total height
According to Barton Wright,
"the Sun Kachina [Dawa] is a representation of the spirit
of the Sun, though on occasion be called the Sun Shield Kachina.
He appears in a role very similar to that of the Nakiachop or
Talavai, standing to the side with a spruce tree in his left
hand and a bell in his right.
Also, he may appear in a Mixed
Dance with the flute in his left hand that is associated with
him in many myths. He is not often personated."
